National Holiday

Start with one fact: Bangladesh has over 20 official public holidays each year. Missing one means losing a paid day off.

National Holiday by MCC LTD. is a utility application that displays the complete list of government-declared public holidays and additional observances for Bangladesh. The app operates as a reference calendar, letting you view all national holidays at a glance without scrolling through generic calendar data.

Key functional capabilities

• Complete holiday database – Contains all gazetted public holidays plus supplementary observances (e.g., religious festivals, memorial days) as declared by the Bangladesh government. The list updates with each annual gazette notification.
• Calendar integration – One-tap export of any holiday to your device’s default calendar app. Supports adding single events or bulk-importing the entire year’s holidays into your existing schedule.
• Turbo mode (ad‑free experience) – Removes all banner and interstitial advertisements. Activates via a single in‑app purchase, delivering uninterrupted browsing of holiday data and faster list loading.
• Year‑ahead planning – The Holiday Preview module shows upcoming holidays for the next 12 months, enabling advance scheduling for travel, leave applications, or event planning.
• Bangla & English interface – Full language toggle between Bengali and English. All holiday names, descriptions, and interface labels switch instantly without restarting the app.
• Offline access – The complete holiday list for the current and next calendar years is cached locally. No internet connection required after the initial data download.

Interface and navigation structure

The main screen presents a scrollable list grouped by month. Each entry displays:
- Holiday name (in selected language)
- Date (Gregorian and Bangla calendar)
- Day of the week
- Holiday type (public / optional / bank holiday)

Tapping any holiday opens a detail panel with a short historical or cultural note about the observance. From this panel you can:
- Add the holiday to your device calendar
- Share the date via any messaging app
- Set a reminder notification (24h, 1 week, or 1 month before)

The bottom navigation bar contains three tabs:
1. Holidays – the main list
2. Calendar – a month‑grid view highlighting holidays in green
3. Settings – language selection, Turbo activation, data refresh

Notification system

Enable optional push notifications to receive alerts:
- 7 days before the next upcoming holiday
- On the morning of a public holiday
- When a new government gazette updates the holiday list

Notifications are configurable per holiday type – you can choose to receive alerts only for public holidays, or also for optional/religious observances.

Data accuracy and updates

The app pulls its data from the official Bangladesh government gazette published by the Cabinet Division. Each year, when the new gazette is released (typically in December), the app receives a data update. You must be connected to the internet to download the new year’s holiday list. The app displays a notification when an update is available.

Why this app exists

Generic calendar apps often miss Bangladesh‑specific holidays or include incorrect dates. National Holiday removes the guesswork by sourcing data directly from government announcements, updating promptly when the official list changes.

Consider downloading National Holiday now – it takes 30 seconds to install and gives you a complete, accurate holiday calendar for the current and next year. No ads in Turbo mode, no clutter, just the dates you need to plan your year.

Disclaimer: This application requires an active internet connection for initial data download and annual holiday list updates. The Turbo mode (ad‑free experience) is unlocked via a one‑time in‑app purchase. Holiday dates are based on official government gazettes and may be subject to last‑minute government changes. The developer is not responsible for scheduling conflicts arising from unannounced holiday modifications.
